I will never cease to admire God's ability to restore His image in the sin-broken creation. How may a demoniac become a leader in the mission field or an outcast Samaritan woman become a leading evangelist in her region? We simply ask the question; God has the answer: &quot;'Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit' says the Lord ...&quot; And for that, to God alone be the glory!&nbsp;</p> Thu, 04 Sep 2025 11:44:40 +0000 Eau Claire SDA Church Service, Sept. 6 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68278 <div color:="" data-olk-copy-source="MailCompose" font-size:="" new="" style="margin: 0px; font-family: " times=""> Tom Shepherd, PhD, is the speaker at the Eau Claire Seventh-day Adventist Church this Saturday.

They put a human face on issues and ideas. Sharing your &ldquo;story&rdquo; is just another way to talk about sharing your &ldquo;testimony.&rdquo; As Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we have some beautiful teachings about Jesus that we feel compelled to share with our friends (and the world). When we combine a biblical teaching with our testimony about how that teaching has impacted us, it&rsquo;s a powerful combination to help transform human lives. Let&rsquo;s reflect so we can each be equipped to share our story.</p> Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:46:56 +0000
